[ale] xmodmap, motif, and backspacing

[Eric]

I don't think I mucked with xmodmap to get delete to work. This is what
I have in my .Xdefaults file: 

*defaultVirtualBindings: \
 osfBackSpace : <Key>Delete \n\
 osfDelete : <Key>Execute \n\
 osfUp : <Key>Up\n\
 osfDown : <Key>Down\n\
 osfLeft : <Key>Left\n\
 osfRight : <Key>Right\n
